How are retained search fees structured?

Our professional fees are billed on a standard milestone basis (typically 1/3 at mandate initiation, 1/3 at delivery of the agreed shortlist, and 1/3 upon completion/signing of the executive appointee).

Can a search be conducted covertly without market leakage?

Yes. Over 40% of our mandates are confidential succession or sensitive replacements. We maintain strict non-disclosure, anonymised candidate briefs, and NDAs signed prior to disclosing client identities.
